Description

Our growing number of shops are one of the most important ways in which we raise money to support people living through the challenges of life-changing illness. So when you work in one, you’re not just helping us to turn a profit – you’re helping to improve the lives of the people we exist to help.

Join the team and you’ll be raising crucial income for our work. You’ll help us to create a well-presented shop where customers get great service. Day-to- day, you’ll dress the shop window,sort and size stock, and be on hand to help customers with their purchases.  Our furniture shops sell an interesting range of furniture items, bric-a- brac and some clothes. Remember that you could often be moving stock – which may involve lifting heavy goods or furniture.

To do this, you need to be organised and IT-literate, with natural teamwork skills. You should also have good basic arithmetic and a gift for dealing with people. With these talents, you’ll deliver retail excellence to grow income and make a difference to Sue Ryder Healthcare and the people we support.

Sue Ryder provides incredible hospice and neurological care for people facing a frightening, life-changing diagnosis. We do whatever we can to be a safety net for our patients and their loved ones at the most difficult time of their lives. We see the person, not the condition.

Our shops, fundraising and volunteers support us to be there for people at the most difficult time of their lives.
